“The other shadow on the left wing is cast by the rudder.”

Then why do the two shadows point in two different directions? Shouldn’t they be parallel if they are cast by the same light source?

And compare the width of the shadow of the door to the width of the shadow on the left wing. the vertical tail is much wider than the door, so it should cast a wider shadow, but the shadow on the left wing is the same width as the shadow of the door on the cabin top.

Plus, if you draw lines back from the left wing shadow, they don’t intersect the tail edges. At all.

the shadow on the left wing, whatever its cause, is not of the tail.

Is there any way you could copy the plane image into Paint or some other program and put in lines and captions to show what you mean? I can freepmail you my email address if you’d need me to post it online so it can be posted here at FR using the URL. Let me know if you’d like me to do that.

I’ve got so much information I’m processing right now that I need things really simple to see.

You have to look at the photo in post 3 to see it. The shadow on the fuselage is closer to the upraised door with window. The shadow on the wing comes from the larger rudder that is further back at the tail. The two shadows are pointing in the same direction.
